    Guinea head twitching

    My guy is constantly twitching his head and scratching it with his back foot . He is free range by day and sleeps locked in my barn at night. I cannot hold or get too close to him (he was a stray that found my home and stayed). He lives alone as far as birds go... he takes dust baths etc... I...

    Guineas and hawks

    The guineas were asleep in a tree...middle of the night. They won’t fly at night, so they just scooted away from the owl. Once I got the last two used to going in the barn at night, things settled down. The third one was taken by a red tail hawk(?) in broad daylight off the ground! Two other...

    Lone Guinea advice...

    What would be a proper carrier? I have a small, medium, and extra large dog crates. I also have an extra large metal dog crate.

    Guineas and hawks

    I’m in Oklahoma and a large hawk got my last female guinea. My husband jumped a fence and ran into the field to save it, but it was too late. I had two others taken by owls at night (on my security cameras). The hawks here are very big and will carry off a full grown cat!

    Ideally, I’d like to rehome him to a nice large flock. However, I’ve been unable to find anyone nearby that has a flock. I’ve checked my local vet, feed co-op, and social media. I’d hate to drive him too far away for rehoming because I don’t know how he’d handle the ride. And, I’d have to catch...

    Thanks for the advice! His mate was killed about two months ago. I thought he’d slowly start back to wandering out and eating bugs....maybe it’s time for a male friend.

    Lone Guinea advice...

    I adopted 4 guineas who were dumped on my property last year. One by one they have been picked off by owls/hawks. I have one left. He is very lonely since his mate was taken while sitting on her nest in the tall grass, and now he will not leave the back porch, even to look for bugs. He sleeps...
